Extreme Programming (XP) is a set of principles and practices for 
developing software. It has been described as a "high-discipline, 
low-overhead methodology". XP has developers programming in pairs, 
writing tests to verify all code, and continuously refactoring code to 
improve the design. To quote Kent Beck: "XP is a starting line. It asks 
the question, 'How little can we do and still build great software?'"

comp.software.extreme-programming is a newsgroup for discussing this 
methodology. (Not Windows XP, not your extremely hard programming 
work/homework questions.)

NOTE: Every newsgroup has one or two trolls; after the regulars start 
ignoring them, they feed on newbies. Please read the troll faq before 
responding to taunting or obvious mis-statements of the facts.
